Joshua 19:24-31

Land Is Given to Asher

24 The fifth lot that was drawn out was for the tribe of Asher, family group by family group.

25 Here is what Asher's share included. Helkath, Hali, Beten, Acshaph,

26 Allammelech, Amad and Mishal. On the west the border touched Carmel and Shihor Libnath.

27 Then it turned east toward Beth Dagon. It touched Zebulun and the Valley of Iphtah El. It went north to Beth Emek and Neiel. It went past Cabul on the left.

28 It went to Abdon, Rehob, Hammon and Kanah. It reached all the way to Greater Sidon.

29 The border then turned back toward Ramah. It went to Tyre, a city that had high walls around it. It turned toward Hosah. It came to an end at the Mediterranean Sea in the area of Aczib,

30 Ummah, Aphek and Rehob. The total number of towns was 22. Some of them had villages near them.

31 Those towns and their villages were the share the tribe of Asher received, family group by family group.
